In order for you to calculate
for the mass of ammonium carbonate, you need to know the molar mass of it and
the nitrogen atoms in the compound. Ammonium carbonate has a molar mass of
96.08 grams per mole. There are two nitrogen atoms in ammonium carbonate which
is equal to 28.02 grams per mole. Divide the molar mass of nitrogen to the
ammonium carbonate, 28.02/96.08 x 100, we get 29.16wt% nitrogen.
A=Mass number=24
N=neutrons=13
Z=atomic number.
A=Z+N
24=Z+13
Z=24-13
Z=11
The atomic number is 11, and this atom is sodium.
We could (a) stir faster and (b) warm the mixture.
<em>Stirring faster</em> moves freshly-dissolved sugar away from the solid and allows new water molecules to contact with the surface,
<em>Warming the mixture</em> gives the water molecules more kinetic energy, so their collisions with the surface of the sugar will be more effective in removing the sugar molecules.
